Jordan’s Top 5 Favorite Places

If you think I’m well-traveled you should talk to my friend, Jordan. He’s been to 24 countries at last count (what’s the update, Jordan?) and has lived in about half of them! Jordan and I first met when I was studying in Sydney as an exchange student in 2010. Since then, we’ve seen each other on two other continents: the US and India.

Jordan has a VERY different perspective from me on what makes a good travel destination so I decided to share his top 5 favorite places as a contrast to mine. We all like different things in our holidays and for Jordan, his self-declared priorities are authenticity, other-worldness, and deconstruction. He also takes his travel photos with disposable cameras, which I think adds an extra layer of grit and surreality to his memories (see below).

From Jordan himself:

5. India“Is it weird that I’ve been thinking a lot about India lately, namely Calcutta?”

(Editor’s Note: Yes, absolutely weird considering the last time we were in India you hated it so much you booked a flight out after five days. But hey, ain’t no shame in giving it another chance. I think there’s a time and a place for a trip to India and last time wasn’t it. After all, we spent most of those five days doing this/sitting on the toilet:)

4. Aix-en-Provence“It’s like a page ripped from an illustrated children’s book. Ponds with ducks, wind chimes, and sunshine.”
